PROBLEM

The existing 424-6183 Lines Group can provide insufficient lubrication flow to the rear pump drive at start up on certain 994K Wheel Loaders. If the existing 424-6183 Lines Group provides insufficient lubrication for extended periods of time, it could lead to 6M-1637/6M-1638 Rear Pump Drive bearing failure.

Rear pump drive lubrication oil is provided primarily from the air to oil cooler return circuit, and in lower ambient conditions this oil can remain too cold for too long to provide adequate rear pump drive oil flow.
